Finally woke up at 3.00am to find clearish skys this morning
Drove 10 minutes to work (150 acre) dark sky site to find the gate locked !, oh man its never freakin locked !!..Luckily I remembered ,eventually , the back gate was open .

very impressive comet , different looking to mcnaught in that the tail; appears much straighter /longer ?, not overly bright as mentioned I can see why people are putting a few hundred KMS in to get away from the city lights,will be interesting to see what happens when it gets a little further away from sunrise and higher. I'm off camping to minnie waters for a while so hopefully the weather plays nice and I can try out my new weifeng tripod I got yesterday .
